Thank you for the postscript, because the whole time I was reading, I was thinking, "How magical that you two could be alone there, because I'm betting nowadays the beach is overrun with tourists." I'm glad to find out it isn't. And glad you took the risks to make your life what you wanted, instead of pretzeling yourself into someone else's idea of a life. It's so clear your parents just wanted you to be safe ... and as a risk-averse person I understand ... but even I can see that safe isn't everything.

I really enjoy it when your pieces have lots of dialogue like this! Also, I’m imagining a series of short stories with the prompt: “You guys want to sleep somewhere way more interesting than a hostel?” he’d said. “Have yourselves a real adventure?”
